Charles Cave and Jack Lawrence-Brown were both from Pitshanger Village in North Ealing , and first played together in a school show at North Ealing Primary School. Harry McVeigh (from Shepherd’s Bush ) joined them two years later, and they began playing under the name Fear of Flying at the age of fifteen. Cave described the band as a “weekend project”, and one of many groups which they were involved in while at school. Fear of Flying completed one UK tour as a support act, as well as further slots with The Maccabees , Jamie T and Laura Marling . They released two double A-side vinyl singles on independent record label Young and Lost Club, “Routemaster/Round Three” on 7 August 2006 and “Three’s a Crowd/Forget-Me-Nots” on 6 December 2006. Both vinyls were produced by former Blur and The Smiths collaborator, Stephen Street , whom they met through a friend at school. They went on to play the inaugural Underage Festival in Victoria Park , England on 10 August 2007.
